Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I have been on legal trt 200mg every two weeks for 7 months. I got some arimidex 3 weeks ago and have been using .25mg eod. I looked in the mirror tonight and it looks like my nips are growing... definately something that was not there a month ago. Nothing hard or tender...just look like they are growing. Need advice. What is going on. I am 55years old.
Arimidex?? Problem
- Thread starter rdmort
- Start date
That's not good. Anyway things don't look so bad this a.m. I got a nip about half the size of a pencil erasure which may be ok for me, but I noticed a very thin white ring around the right one. Always been dark. I see the doc again in 10 days. He is a urologist...getting ready to retire. From what I have read on here...he may not have the best approach for my problem.
He tested me for test levels.....155
Put me on 300mg of t. cypionate per month IM
Tested me 2 months later....238
One more month 300mg of t.cypionate
Tested me 345
After 3 months I had more energy and felt somewhat better but by day 10 after an injection I began to notice decreases in energy.
So now he goes to 200mg t.cypionate every 2 weeks.
This is for the last 3 and half months. I added the arimidex on my own
from what others said on this site. I have noticed an increase in libidio the last 2 weeks....finally! But I don't want boobs. Any input would be helpful

one piece of input would be to shot 100 mg test per week. It would cause a smaller maximum spike
I think the weekly injection would be helpful for more even distribution. Maybe even use the rub on type stuff. The thing I am more concerned about is the nips....it seems unlikely that arimidex could be the cause?? Should I switch to a different product to help this other problem??? Maybe its been there longer than 3 weeks...I just don't look in the mirror much. Thanks for the input.

.25mg eod of arimidex is nothing. at the minimum you should be using .5mg ED, more likely 1mg ED (and there is no guarantee that will be enough- though with low doses it should be)
you also need to inject every 5-6 days in order to maintain even blood levels with cyp.
arimidex is the weakest of the AI's. While it suppresses estrone significantly, it does not suppress aromatase all that well. in a system where there is no exogenous testosterone use arimidex does suppress E very highly, not so much with exogenous.
you really should try aromasin or AIFM.
also because of your age you should probably be using a prolactin inhibitor, cabaser (cabergoline) and selepryl (selegiline) are the most popular choices

puffy nipples does usually indicate that prolactin is a factor.
I have faithfully taken a-dex in my HRT program and my cycles with no nipple or gyno problems to report.
I suspect another problem here.

for YOU that may be the case. Its true that some can use arimidex to ameliorate estrogenic issues, for some it is even too strong. that does not appear to be the case here or in point of fact generally.

Try Aromasin
I'm fortunate to have a brother sports med doc. He always tests me for Estroidals when doing Test levels. He avoids prescription anti estrogens because of their side effects such as blood clots in older athletes that have some plaque buildup (don't we all to some degree?). He advises his older athletes who are on HRT and are showing elevated estrogens to use over the counter Novadex XT....In my case I dropped from a 65 level to 45 and toatal Test rose from 1050 to 1200.

Try Letrozole bro. That shit knocks gyno out. It is super strong though, so start with 1.25mg ed, the go up or down as needed. I use 0.5mg eod during cycle and never have any gyno problems and I run a lot more test than you are.
And I would agree with 1 shot per week. Shooting every 2 weeks is not often enough.

This is true. I'd also say that this is a great thread. Lots of solid info, opinions and personal experiences.
Whenever I do experience any nipple problems, I up the dosage of a-dex or add a day. Then I do this for at least 2 weeks. I have observed that different stacks can give me different symptoms. Even the same stack will do this. So I adjust accordingly.
Right now I am doing 20 extra mg a day of naps on top of my HRT. I simply wanted to see the results. And I added on extra a-dex day.
No nips problems and 10 extra pounds. Yes .. probably lots of water in there, but the chemicals are hard at work.
I'll move to a much smarter cycle and stack very soon.
